The Southern Door football team will open its 2025 campaign on the road Friday night when it battles the New Holstein Huskies.
Under the tutelage of Scott Mallien, the Eagles finished last season 7-4 with a 6-1 mark in the Packerland Conference. Their season ended in Level 2 of the WIAA Playoffs with a 50-8 loss to Wrightstown. After losing many of their postseason honorees to graduation, the Eagles potentially welcome All-Conference performers Lauden Berg (Offensive End, Defensive Back), Landon Vandertie (Linebacker, Offensive Lineman), and Talon Mueller (Defensive Back).
Last year, the Huskies saw their season end against the Eagles in Level 1 of the WIAA Playoffs. Tied 7-7 at the break, the Eagles scored 17 unanswered points to sprint past the Huskies to the second round. It spoiled a 6-4 season and a second place finish in the Eastern Wisconsin Conference. They welcome back All-Conference performers Logan Muellenbach, Landon Floyd, Ely Kohlman, Joseph Abrams, Jacob Schneider, and Griffin Abler.
